BD #118 stated he used the shoulder straps and noted they were difficult to use due to the resident's size, wheelchair, and position of the wheelchair. BD #118 proceeded to illustrate where Resident #24 fell and slid.

A follow-up interview on 02/11/25 at 9:17 A.M. revealed BD #119 stated she was unsure if she received formal training related to driving the facility bus. BD #119 stated she did receive hands-on training from BD #118, who showed her how to secure residents in wheelchairs in a perpendicular position (facing the side of the bus). BD #119 stated she placed residents forward-facing as she did not feel comfortable positioning residents in the perpendicular position. BD #119 confirmed she had not yet completed the online PASS training yet. An interview on 02/11/25 at 10:35 A.M. with the Administrator revealed she did not think the bus drivers received formal training, rather the new staff were just trained by other staff. The Administrator stated the Risk Management policy should be reviewed and signed yearly by the bus drivers, and verified BD #118 did not review and sign an acknowledgement of the policy in 2024. The Administrator also verified BD #119 did not review and sign acknowledgement of the policy before moving into a bus driver role. During an interview on 02/11/25 at 4:04 P.M., the Regional Director of Operations (RDOO) #206, [NAME] President of Clinical Operations (VPCO) #202, and [NAME] President of Operations (VPO) #116, were informed of the survey team's concerns related to the fall incident, lack of fall investigation, lack of training, failure to report the incident to the State Agency, and the lack of documentation in Resident #24's medical record related to the 12/12/24 incident. VPO #116 verified the findings and shared the facility had begun to implement corrective action. Observation of the facility bus and interview on 02/12/25 at 8:22 A.M. with Regional Maintenance Director (RMD) #205 revealed there is no safe way to secure a wheelchair or the resident when it is placed perpendicular to the front of the bus. I would never transport a resident placed perpendicular to the front of the bus. Observation of the facility bus and interview on 02/12/25 at 9:35 A.M. with BD #118, who was called into the facility to complete driver training, revealed he was learning a lot with the training. BD #118 stated he never knew he was not supposed to transport residents facing sideways. BD #118 demonstrated the hands-on steps he took to secure Resident #24 in a perpendicular position. BD #118 stated he used the shoulder straps and noted they were difficult to use due to the resident's size, wheelchair, and position of the wheelchair. BD #118 proceeded to illustrate where Resident #24 fell and slid. Further observations of the bus indicated Resident #24 fell forward approximately three feet before hitting the floor and then slid an additional four feet, landing in the aisle on her right side.
